The certification process is very straight forward
and can be broken down into five steps, as below:
1.0 Questionnaire
We ask you to complete our certification
questionnaire (two page document) to give us information about
your organisation. Simply complete as much as you can.
2.0 Quotation
We prepare a fixed price quotation from the
information that we have gathered from the questionnaire.
3.0 Application
If you wish to accept our proposal we require you to
complete a one page "application" form and return it to us.
4.0 Document Review
When your management system documentation is ready
for review, you then submit it to us. We conduct a desk top
document review to ensure that your system procedures meet the
necessary requirements of the chosen standard.
5.0 Initial/Certification Audit
Once we are satisfied that your documentation meets
the necessary requirements, we conduct an on-site audit of your
management system. In very basic terms - "we check to see that you
do in practice what you say you in your system documentation". If
no major non-conformances are identified during the audit, the
information is processed and the organisation becomes certified to
the chosen standard. Once the organisation is certified we then
conduct surveillance audits every six or twelve months, depending
on the situation. |
